Other games Monday night in Loudoun County:

Park View Pulls Away From Briar Woods

Park View got big games from senior forward Thomas Mulabah, junior guard Marcus Freeman and senior guard/forward Danny Foley and survived a scoring assault from junior guard/forward Bryan Mahoney to secure an 85-67 victory over visiting Briar Woods on Monday night in a Dulles District game.

Mulabah scored a team-high 26 points and Freeman added 21, including three three-pointers. Foley chipped in with 18 points.

Mahoney outdid them all, pouring in 39 points, including 9 of 11 from three-point range. It was his scoring, along with the efforts of junior guard/forward Terrance Ferrell (16 points), that kept the Falcons (1-11, 0-6) within range for most of the game. But ultimately, the Patriots (8-4, 4-2) were able to pull away in the final period.

On Wednesday, Briar Woods will host Potomac Falls and Park View will play at Freedom-South Riding in Dulles District action.

Broad Run Keeps Pace With Loudoun County

The Broad Run girls' basketball team used a familiar formula on Monday against Potomac Falls: defense and Alexis Campbell.

The senior guard had a strong all-around game and the Spartans stifled the Panthers in the second quarter to secure a 67-46 home victory in a Dulles District matchup.

The victory, Broad Run's second straight, allowed the Spartans (8-5, 5-1) to remain a game behind Loudoun County in the district standings. The Raiders defeated Broad Run on Jan. 8, and the teams will square off again on Feb. 5.

Campbell had a game-high 19 points to go along with 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Sophomore center Maggie Andricosky added 14 points and 8 rebounds.

Potomac Falls (4-8, 1-5) was led by junior forward Sarah Hibson, who scored 12 points, all from the free-throw line.

Broad Run will next play at Dominion on Wednesday, while Potomac Falls will host Briar Woods in Dulles District play.
